PRTG storage monitoring: What you’ll find on this page
PRTG makes storage performance monitoring as easy as it gets
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent low storage space, data loss, and other issues with your storage environment.
4 business problems you will avoid with PRTG storage monitoring
Paessler PRTG helps you avoid negative business impacts due to storage problems or failures with 24/7 storage monitoring of all components – hardware as well as software, availability as well as performance and security.
Data loss through high temperature
PRTG helps you detect cooling failures before they lead to synchronous destruction of hardware components and to irreversible loss of data.
Although these systems have multiple layers of redundancy based on RAID levels and multiple disks, failures still happen without proper temperature monitoring with a tool like PRTG.
Data loss through faulty hardware
PRTG helps you detect faulty hardware so it can be replaced in time to assure maximum performance and reliability for the entire system.
Although these systems can handle the loss of multiple disks without urgent problems, such failures cause performance issues and can lead to data loss on a long-term basis.
Data loss through software issues
Since storage systems depend mainly on software components, even a small undetected error can become a critical failure that causes massive data loss.
PRTG helps you detect and identify the root cause of such errors, and helps preserve data integrity that is affected by backup software, databases, and virtual infrastructures.
Business loss through performance problems
With PRTG, you can easily avoid disturbances such as critical business processes that slow down because data is not available or can’t be stored in time.
Prevent problems such as a failed purchasing process in a web shop, a backup process that’s interrupted and corrupted, or a security update that fails and leaves open vulnerabilities.
What storage observability looks like in PRTG
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking your storage systems, including virtual and physical servers, network-attached storage (NAS), storage area networks (SAN), content delivery networks (CDN), and cloud storage. Show response times, CPU and memory usage, latency, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot storage bottlenecks, low storage capacity, and unplanned downtime.

PRTG provides you with one central monitoring solution with a unified overview that lets you track your storage environment as well as your entire IT infrastructure at a glance.
Beyond the storage system
PRTG monitors the entire path data takes from the source application to the final disk, folder or database where it is stored.
This also includes keeping a 24/7 eye on network connectivity, bandwidth usage, storage resource allocation, and other IT components that play a vital role in the data storage process.
